Great bike. Used one for a couple years on track for competition. Really reliable. And a Dream in the corners with the right set up. many 1000cc bikes have trouble losing you. I had the evo model though. Put some fresh pirellis super corsas on it
That's great to hear! I know they were considered as one of the best mid weight sports bikes of it's time so think you can't go to far wrong with one of these. I loved the way it felt on the road and love the look of it too :)
I have a 848 track bike was my road bike and couldn’t let it go when it came to new bike time, would say they struggled around town with a little chugging in low gear but change to a 14 tooth front sprocket is a must if it bothers you, if you can stretch to a newer 848 evo think around 2010 you get a little better performance and a steering damper standard and a little stretch more to the evo corse addition gets you traction control and quick shifter, as for the steering catching your hands on fairing that comes standard with all the range 😂 and the mirrors are crap you can get extension blocks but the don’t really help that much I went for a bar end mirror and removed the mirrors and replaced with after market blank plates with indicator, love this bike more than any I have had just for it’s pure pleasure it gives me. Hope this helps and good luck with your hunt.
Thanks mate, that's a great help. Yep I did notice it struggled a tinny bit at lower revs but it didn't bother me to much. I don't want to spend to much so would probably buy the standard earlier model if I decide to buy one as the extra power ect doesn't really bother me, although I probably would fit a quick shifter. Ha that's funny about the hands hitting the fairing, I thought it was a badly cut aftermarket fairing but no! lol Yep good idea about the mirrors, I'd go for that set up too ;) I loved riding the 848 and it's a strong contender, thanks again, Griz :)
No problem they are great and lots of aftermarket and Original Ducati improvements that can be done, I would avoid any highly modified examples probably been tracked especially if they don’t have original fairings, service history is important oil change every year although maybe more and cam belts every 2 years, if it has done around or over 15,000 miles a valve check is needed and it is expensive so another how to video I would see in your future 😀 they are quite easy to work on and bags of fun, not a bad bike for a certain lady in your life to move up too 👍 you have me in the mood to buy another bike 😄
Hey you’re welcome mate, I’m glad you enjoyed 😃 how are you getting on with the EVO do you think it’s worth paying the extra for a evo over a standard model? Thanks for the sub too, much appreciated 😎👍
Sixth Gear Motorcycles I bought the bike about 7 months ago for $8.000 U.S it had 4100 miles on it. I put almost a thousand trouble free miles and it’s so much fun I highly recommend this bike 👍🏻
Absolutely adore my 848 evo dark. No need for all the electronic stuff really. Mirrors are a waste of time. I put bar ends on mine and then they're a bit more useful.
They all do that on full lock strangely enough the 1098 is the same sometimes aftermarket levers will hit the inside of the top fairing theirs just no space
Def wouldn't describe it as "comfy and roomy" lol, it's about as harsh as an r6.... proper relaxed body position and it's not that bad. Thinking of picking one up tho they're cheap even good ones and so beautiful.
Nice one, I’ve heard nothing but good things about the 848. I had a 1299 in red and quite fancy a colour change this time around on a Ducati if I buy one 😁👍
I've always fancied an 848, stunning looking. I'd struggle to feel like i knew what i needed to know about the bike from test riding it in straight lines though. 🤔
Sixth Gear Motorcycles well, i know its only a ten minute snippet but the test ride seemed to be exclusively on city roads. it's probably because i do all my riding in mid Wales but I'd want to feel it digging in on a sequence of twisties, quick change of direction, good lean angle, etc. Everybody wants different things from their bike don't they? all i meant was i strongly suspect this bike would be mega on the roads i ride but i don't think i could work out whether it was from this test ride. i really enjoyed the vid though. 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. In a ideal world I would have filmed it on some beautiful roads and got a better feel for it but the dealership wasn’t close to any good roads. The 848’s race proven pedigree is testament enough for me to be honest. I ride these roads often so it’s a relevant test for me and still worthwhile. Ride safe mate and enjoy those beautiful roads you have 😎👍
As per usual from you gross a great video and a great bike also can’t wait to see some more of your demo rides so to speak and to see what you end up with keep safe mate and well done again on your entertaining vids
Hey thanks mate, glad you enjoyed! :) I really like the 848. The KTM 790 Duke video will come next, I was trying to get a test ride on a standard Super Duke this week but the one at Fowlers is broke after someone dropped it.. I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up so it might be a while to my next test ride so a bit of a wait sadly. Still got to sell the bmw yet but hoping I can get a quick sell and go buy something fun. Ride safe & thanks for your kind words :)
Thanks a lot for the great review, how is the mid / top power? And my most important question: is it clumsy while riding in the city? It seems to be very smooth but i couldn’t see if you used the clutch a lot in the city :p
She's lovely isn't she! :) I hear you about the abs but after nearly 30 years of no abs I don't think I'll miss it that much. The bmw and panigale had it but I've yet to see it come into use..
Sixth Gear Motorcycles just got the bike mate, yes I absolutely love it, front feels heavier than others i had but has lots of power, seat it could do with being at least 1inch lower, mate of mine told me i could shave off the seat a lil without heaving to replace parts.. will have to see within few days may feel different by then, may be ok with how it is..
Ah superb! They are brilliant bikes, the front is a little heavy but gives great feedback and fast steering (check the tyre pressure as that can make it feel worse) Yes ride it for a few days and see if you get used to the seat height and shaving the seat down a little would help. I’ve got to do the same on my wife’s ZX6R soon. Enjoy the 848 mate! 😎😁
From a 1299, to a S1000RR, to this? Neh..... Why not testride a 939 Supersport. Comfy and more then enough power for on public roads. I own one and love it.
Nice choice of bike mate, the 939 is about the same power as the 848 but the 848 is lighter and for me a better looker. I'm still very much stuck in the need for a sports bike riding position and love the look of the 848. The 939 cost's about twice as much as the 848 too and I'm strongly siding with the 2 bikes option so I can use a second bike through the winter. I'm sure the 939 is a fantastic bike though!
I am considering to buy either the 848 or the 939 in some months. In about a year the second hand price difference will only be 2000 euro, so the price is no reason to chose one over the other. Which one to choose? The 939 is more comfortable and less race inspiring I guess.
Morten Nielsen A tough choice mate, I would go test ride them both and see what you like more so. I guess quite a few factors come into play when choosing between the two bikes. Looks, comfort and performance. Best of luck with it all 😎👍
Yep great choice mate, I need to have a proper look at triumph and see what I like. I was looking at the older 675 and think it looked a bit small for me
Where do i start....5k for a crashed/repaired 848! a grand less at least! Sounds argumentative (trying to put it nicely) but, youll get into just as much trouble on an 848 as you will on an s1000rr, if not more as youll get used to it and rag it more, then (and this is a prediction) in a years time the "Griz'll be up for a change" you tube video will be out....im guessing a superduke or some other naked...do yourself a favour, put the BMW in the garage and chuck a sheet over it. Go and get another bike but something totally different (and much slower) - a supermoto or something like that. Ride it, and in a couple of months time get your BM out and ride it...itll feel like youve just bought another bike....youll, be "disjointed from it" so you wont rag the shit out of it. In a couple of years time get a naked (keep the other 2) and itll be exponentially the same. Insurance i hear you say...cheaper than you think - after all you can only ride one at a time...i have 5 bikes insured for 600 quid fully comp - one them for sale and the other is my late fathers 40 year old Honda. The cynical side of me says your doing it for the sheer change of it...anyone who sells a bike with the phrase "its time to let someone else enjoy it" tells me theyre bored of it for example. 20 years ago i used to do this...own bike, see a.n.other bike in the car park at Fowlers, sell your soul and bike to get "that one", and then do it all again in a year or 18months...! loosing between 1 and 2k or more each time. Bought my RSV4 8 years ago and still love it, z1000 after that, no plans to sell either and finally HyperMotard 1100 evo sp 2 years ago. Not going to leave me any time soon!!!
Umm yep that sounds argumentative to me but thanks for your insight to my mindset! lol To be honest I've always changed my bikes quite often, I held onto my zx10r for a number of years as I couldn't afford to change it but that's not such a problem nowadays thankfully. Not sure why your trying to work as to why I want a change as I quite clearly described it in my last vlog. The bmw is going and I'm buying another bike and if I feel like selling that at some point I'll do that too. There's so many great bikes to enjoy out there and I'm happy trying out different bikes as and when I want to. Sorry to hear you think I might be chasing some kind of unattainable happiness on two wheels, I'm just doing what makes me happy as I believe you are too. I'm not losing money each time I decide to change bikes and never have. Cheer's Griz! :)
No, im really not..honest...its just..i used to be chopping and changing all the time...sounds a bit lad logic but it works....helps to have a really understanding wife too...ie, ive got my zed, and i love it...eg an sdr1290 would be nice but cost a shed load more and, ive already got that " twin motor " in my hyper....so i think... " yep... happy with what ive got" d'ya see where im coming from.? its kinda held fast for the last 8 years or so...
I think that in 90% of cases most will loose money ( me included )...all the dosh you throw at them in extras usually gets swallowed up in the resale and general de-valuement, wear and tear etc etc ....well, does for me...which is another reason ive kinda stuck fast with my " accumulating bikes non sales model. "!
yeah...well...one was in herited, the other i want to sell but the remaining three get used all the time...the zed is my commuter. Please keep the vids coming...good lunchtime entertainment.

I’m not going to give you advice on what to buy or not to buy, you’ll know when you ride it! All I’d say you didn’t sound that enthusiastic about that one!
Thanks mate, I really do like the 848 but this particular one wasn’t in the best condition so that’s probably why I didn’t sound to enthusiastic lol it’s still a strong contender though! Hopefully I’ll find the right one eventually! ☺️👍
Haha I actually started using this font over 2 years ago. Take a look through my vids, if you look at TMF’s thumbnails he’s only been using this font for a year, so it would appear that TMF’s stole my font!! lol 😆🤣🤣
You have clearly never rode a motorbike in the dry let alone the wet be it with or without ABS lol I've rode most of my 37 years on 2 wheels riding on the road without ABS in all seasons
Ford Driver Because that’s what I choose. Your the first to complain about the music. I guess you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time 😂
Funnily enough the ZX10R was a bit of a nightmare too and would pull power wheelies on me at round 90 to 100 mph. I don't mind wheelies but at those speeds it's a bit daft. With this in mind I really shouldn't have bought the S1000RR but I wanted it and here we are now... Never mind, the power to weight ratio is right where you need it in my opinion on the 848, I still want to try some more bikes but the 848 is a very strong contender & no not this actual one! lol
+Sixth Gear Motorcycles could get a reasonable vtr sp1 for the money you're looking at. Won't get you in trouble, appreciating in value. A bit old now but your handy with the spanners. Just a thought.
Its simply the most beautiful bike around
Nothing can touch the Mv agusta

Ducati multistrada. Think it would be a better fit you mate. Bit more go, and some more room for your ample size frame.

Ford Driver Because that’s what I choose. Your the first to complain about the music. I guess you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time 😂
Need abs !!
Nah abs is for whimps! 😂 Abs is nice to have but you don’t need it, I’ve had the best part of 30 years on two wheels without it and been ok 👍
PUSSY !!!
you didn't ride stupid or get into too much trouble on the Zx10r did you and this is slower so why not have one of these. Not that actual one tho. lol
Funnily enough the ZX10R was a bit of a nightmare too and would pull power wheelies on me at round 90 to 100 mph. I don't mind wheelies but at those speeds it's a bit daft. With this in mind I really shouldn't have bought the S1000RR but I wanted it and here we are now... Never mind, the power to weight ratio is right where you need it in my opinion on the 848, I still want to try some more bikes but the 848 is a very strong contender & no not this actual one! lol
+Sixth Gear Motorcycles could get a reasonable vtr sp1 for the money you're looking at. Won't get you in trouble, appreciating in value. A bit old now but your handy with the spanners. Just a thought.
Yep good idea mate, so many bikes to choose from! :/
I had one Bought a ss1000r way BETTER
Your riding on the wrong side on the road!!!!
Haha 😆😂
